During his hearing in a Newark, New Jersey courthouse on Friday (January 19), the presiding judge agreed to allow Sorrentino to travel to Florida to shoot a Jersey Shore reunion special this year.

In 2017, Sorrentino and his brother, Marc, pleaded not guilty after being indicted for tax evasion and fraud. Federal prosecutors accused the siblings of falsifying tax records on $8.9 million in earnings following a 2014 indictment for other tax-related offenses.

Prosecutors also reported that while working together on "promotional activities," the Sorrentinos had claimed more than $5 million in "false or inflated business expenses," including luxury vehicles and grooming costs, between 2010 and 2012.
